PAUL SUE, M. D. This worthy member of the healing profession was born in
Elizabethtown, N. J., February 11, 1837 and is a son of Gean B. Sue, a native of
France, who came to America about 1835. Soon after coming to this country he was
married to Elizabeth Smith, a native of New York City, and soon after his
marriage he removed to Elizabeth town, N, J., where he engaged in teaching and
being a Bachelor of Arts, published a treatise on French grammar and other
similar works.

  In 1839 when our subject was two years old the parents removed to France where
they lived about fourteen years, after which they returned to America where the
father was engaged in his chosen vocation of teaching until his retirement. He
died in Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of eighty-one having been bereaved of his
wife a few years previous. He was related to Eugene Sue, the celebrated French
novelist. On his mother's side our subject traces his genealogy to DeWitt
Clinton, the builder of the Erie Canal.

  Paul Sue was the eldest in a family of five children and he is the only son.
Having received the usual elementary education, he was given an opportunity of
studying in Montpelier College, in the city of that name in the south of France,
and graduated from the mathematical department of this institution at about the
age of sixteen. He returned to America in 1853 and having taken a course of
study in the Detroit Medical College he graduated therefrom in 1869.

  The same year in which this young man graduated he established himself at
Fenton, and here has since practiced his profession. In 1873 he was married to
Miss Mary Bryan, a native of Troy, N. Y. He is a Democrat in his political
views, but is in no sense a politician. In 1888 he made a visit to the World's
Exposition at Paris and enjoyed greatly not only the renewal of his boyhood's
associations but also the opportunity to see what progress his profession had
made upon the Continent. Dr. Sue devotes his entire energies to the profession
and in it he has been eminently successful, for he is a man of no mean ability
and is both modest and clever. His talents and his personal qualities have made
him hosts of friends to rejoice in his prosperity.
